How To Use AdSense Access and Authorization Feature

It is amazing when you see a webmaster using a blogspot blog stealing an AdSense
Java Script Code and using it on their website. They will usually keep your
unique publisher ID while showing ads from your account. While their action may
be unintentional in terms of them not caring which ID that they use, the net
effect is that you are now involved in their illegal action.

Whatever
their reason for doing so, once they are caught and banned for using illegal and
plagiarized materials, chances are that Google will also ban your Adsense
account as well because it violates the terms of service and the program polices even though you may not have been aware that
this happened to you. It doesn't really matter to Google because they see your
unique publisher ID and assume that it is you posting the illegal
materials.In addition, there are websites that also use the iFrame HTML
program that will embed to the post and pages of your website as well. This
means that you are now violating the Terms of Services as well as the Program
Policies because they are showing the AdSense ads inside an iFrame which is
forbidden. Again, because it is your website, Google will assume that it is you
unless you can take appropriate action.

While this may seem unfair, it
must be noted that Google has recognized the practices of others in using the
websites and unique publisher ID, so they have developed a new feature called
"Access and Authorization" that you can find within the
dashboard of AdSense. It is here that you can only allow certain sites to show
ads for your account and not have to worry about getting punished for something
that you did not do.

Access and Authorization Usage

You will need to log into your AdSense
account and then proceed to "Site Authorization" which will then let you check the mark to
allow only certain ads to be shown for your account. When you check the box that
allows only certain sites, it will ask you which domains that you are allowing
to show on your website and what has permission to use your ad code:

Here, you will need to type in all the websites or domains that you have granted
permission and save the changes you have made by clicking the "Save" button.
While it may be tempting to not list any, you will need to list the following in
order to fully comply with the request and not create any more
confusion:

- Your Domains: Any domains and sub-domains that you
own where you want to monetize them with AdSense.- Country Specific
TLDs: Basically, any country-specific TLDs of
Google will need to be included as well, for example a .blogspot.com blog (see
the screenshot below). To find a complete list of all Google domains, click HERE.- Translate Site: If some of your customers are
using translation sites to visit your website, then you'll want to at least
include the major ones such as Google Translate and others. You can find a list
of the major ones or stick to Google if you like.- Yahoo & Bing
Domains and Sub-Domains: Wherever your articles are being read, you'll need
to include these sites as well.- Articles: If you are using articles
from other websites that have your ad code and you have promised to share your
AdSense revenue with the parties involved, then you will need to enter all of
the article URL codes separately in order to make sure that they are
authorized.

If you were to use a domain name that is not on your list of authorized
websites, but it does use your ad code, then you will see alerts on your
dashboard to notify you. If these are legitimate sites that you want to use your
ad code, but simply did not put them on the list you can do so thanks to the
warning provided on your dashboard:

We've noticed your ad code has appeared on websites
you haven't authorized. To avoid lost revenue, make sure to authorize any sites
you own to display ads by visiting your account
settings.

However, if these sites are not authorized, then you
can feel comfortable by ensuring that their domain is not on your list and
Google will not punish you for the theft by others.

Also, keep in mind
that any domain name that is using your ad code and is not authorized will
remain in place and not generate any money for you. So, you cannot profit by the
theft of others even when they are using your ad code. While this may seem
unfair in a sense, the way the process works does keep your website from being
punished for what someone else has done.

Additional Notes for Using Access and Authorization on AdSense

There are
a number of things that you will need to be aware of when using this particular
program. First, be sure that you check it frequently so that you can catch any
warning early on. You only need to sign into your account and check the
dashboard where the authorization is located. By checking frequently, you can
catch those who are authorized and add them to your account.

Remember
that any partner websites of Adsense such as youtube.com, blogspot.com,
blogger.com etc. are fully authorized to show your ads without having to add
them to your account listing. All partner websites of AdSense qualify, so you
only need to restrict yourself to the sites that are outside that particular
area.

When you add a domain to your list of sites that are authorized to
use your ad code, they will automatically be added to your list of sites that
you own as well. This means that you don't have to add them twice and can limit
your efforts to just the first authorization part.

You'll want to use
this feature in order to avoid any misunderstanding and especially to avoid
being punished for something that you did not do. However, you'll need to
prepare a bit before entering all of the applicable domains that can use your ad
code. By taking a little time and going over all the places where they appear,
you can add them in and get the greatest benefit from this particular feature of
AdSense.

If you have any more questions, you might also try posting them
here in the Adsense help forums.
